Matty-poo Kemp is still having to defend why he’s lacking in the Baseball playing skills department as well as his Hollyweirded-out relationship with Rihanna:

“I’m a grown man,” he says. “You’re picked on when you’re a kid,” but then just as quickly the kid adds, “I’m not going there” when asked if the Dodgers have been too tough on him. While more often noticed for his bravado, too often it’s a disguise. Pressed to reflect, Kemp admits, “Yeah, there have been times probably when I haven’t given 100 percent. But I want people to know I work hard, and I definitely care. I’ve been trying to do everything I can to figure this out.”

Poor thang…

Some folks have theorized it’s the L.A. lifestyle and girlfriend, singer Rihanna, who have impacted Kemp’s baseball career for the worse. “My girl has nothing to do with what I do on the baseball field,” Kemp says. “If anything she helps. She makes me happy, and as stressed as I am coming home sometimes, it’s nice to have someone there who just wants to support you.”

LEAVE THAT SHE DEVIL SON… THAT BYTCH GONNA F.UK YOU UP LIKE SHE DID C BREEZY…SHE WORKING ON YOU NEXT RUDE BOI!

Oh yeah, if anything Matt will have to owe them $$$ IF they paid him that 11 milli upfront and he doesn’t fulfill, let’s say 6 years, on the contract. Contracts are negotiated and reviewed annually and prior to the new season if I’m not mistaken.

bonekrisha

Yeah @India u right. He would have to pay it all back b/c he’s not living up to what was on that contract. So if he gets dropped & he has to pay it back………. you know what he’s gonna do & who’s he’s gonna go to first……………..Rihanna. He gonna expect her to help pay that money back.

Speculation!! Most baseball contract are guaranteed. A player is not paid up front, rather they receive a signing bonus, which may be paid up front or in increments. If he is cut and has a guaranteed contract, he will be paid until the end of his contract unless something different is negotiated. There can be many variables to an individual athletes contract. Not all contracts are equal.

willy b hardigan

pretty sure unless you have an incentive laden contract its guaranteed. We will be paying griffey for years and he left cincy years ago and retired this year

Hey!

Poor Thang…he better step his game up fast.

leb

@ChynaPeach I agree!-lol

seriously?

he’s from LA so how can it be the LA lifestyle? he’s definitely distracted by this new girlfriend..

Ciana

i didnt even know he was a professional basketball i mean football i mean hockey i mean soccer i mean kickball player until he dated rihanna.i thought he was just somebody she met in the back of the club.

It's Me

Matt you don’t owe now one an explanation, all you need to do is keep knocking the breaks off RiRi ponanny.

Really

Umm… sorry they will still have 2 give him the 11 mil. Baseball is not football. Baseball have guaranteed contracts. Only way they want pay if he gets suspended without pay 4 breakin a rule. Which he hasn’t done. I know what im talkin about. The Dodgers r still payin players that doesn’t even play 4 them anymore. So he get his money no matter what.

aries79

girl they have been hating on

Rihanna so long, you would think

it would be old for them two by now

TastesMinty2010

As long as they are happy…his career will be fine, hopefully.

realdwn2erth

Even though, I do not care for RiRi, I’m happy for her. I think that, the two of them make a cute little couple. And, they appear to be very, happy, and comfortable with each other.

NWO

It’s to late Matt that she devil got you where she want you. Look at you. Can’t even play baseball anymore.I read that the team blame the manager because he let Matt go seperately with Rihanna instead of riding with the team. Then Matt & Rihanna party all day and night in NYC the day before the game. Sad

DODGERFAN

THE LA DODGERS DONT EVEN TEND TO TRADE HIM SO I DONT SEE HOW HE IS GOING TO LOSE A JOB
